Quick Summary
ABB 1SBL296201R3000 Block Contactor is a 4-pole motor controller ideal for industrial machinery. In modern panels, engineers face high coil energy use and wiring complexity; this design reduces energy consumption with a 24 V DC coil and built-in surge protection, while remaining PLC-friendly for direct control. It carries IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1 compliance, UL/CSA general-use ratings, and CE/UKCA declarations to support global deployments. The compact block form plus DIN rail mounting and add-on auxiliary blocks enable faster installation, easier future expansion, and predictable performance, helping lower energy costs and simplify maintenance in demanding electrical environments.
Product Information
Extended Description
1SBL296201R3000 ABB: The AF38Z-40-00-30 is a 4-pole - 690 V IEC or 600 UL contactor with screw terminals, controlling motors up to 11 kW / 400 V AC (AC-3) and switching power circuits up to 55 A (AC-1) or 55 A UL general use. Thanks to the AF technology, the contactor has a 24 V DC coil, featuring a reduced holding coil consumption down to 1.7 W and offering the possibility of a direct control by PLC-output ≥ 250 mA 24 V DC, without need of additional interface relay, reducing panel energy consumptions and ensuring distinct operations in unstable networks. Furthermore, surge protection is built-in, offering a compact solution. AF contactors have a block type design, can be easily extended with add-on auxiliary contact blocks and an additional wide range of accessories.

FAQs
Install on a suitable DIN rail (TH35-15 or TH35-7.5) and secure with 2x M4 screws. Use screw terminals for both main and control circuits, respect wire sizes (main 1/2x 1.5...16 mm²; control 0.75...2.5 mm²), and tighten to the specified torques (2.5 N·m main, 1.2 N·m control). Leave adequate space for cooling and access to wiring.
Main circuit rated voltage is up to 690 V with AC-3 rating supporting up to 10.5 A at 690 V (60 °C) and up to 21.2 A at 415 V (AC-3). The control circuit uses a 24 V DC coil, with a coil power loss of about 2.3 W per pole, and provides clear switching for loads up to 55 A in UL/CSA configurations.
Yes. The contactor offers rated operational power AC-3 around 11 kW at 400 V, with corresponding current ratings per voltage class (e.g., 22 A at 440 V, 23.2 A at 220–240 V). The 4-pole design supports balanced phase control, and built-in surge protection helps protect motors from voltage transients.
It complies with IEC/EN 60947-1 and 60947-4-1, UL 60335-2-40, UL 508, and CSA equivalents, and carries CE/UKCA declarations. Additional certifications include CB, CCC, CQC, and DNV as listed in the datasheet, supporting compliance across regions and helping with regulatory documentation and supplier qualification.
AF technology reduces coil holding power to about 1.7 W, lowering standby energy in control cabinets. It supports direct PLC control (≥ 250 mA at 24 V DC) without extra interface relays, reducing panel complexity. Built-in surge protection and a compact block design also minimize panel space, stocking, and maintenance costs over the lifecycle.
